曲:Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Audiobook) - Stephen Fry
Super happy - this absolute gem of an audiobook is super great to listen to at night tucked in the blanket in my room. Stephen Fry is so British it's just perfect for reading Harry Potter.
Have been spending the past couple of days settling in to Seattle. I think I know the neighbourhood quite well now; can find my way to the main stores quite easily. We had an amazing Thai dinner the first night, and a cosy cosy steamboat today with housemates and Tong. Now before this turns into a boring post on our probably less than interesting to anyone else life, I'll shut up. But I have biceps that can tong any kind of weight now. Rice and bottles of sauces one trip, milk and juices on another. Not forgetting the luggage and the snow. Haha.
Cheryl, Sarah and I passed a quiet New Year's yesterday. From our apartment you could see the Space Needle in the distance, and at midnight you could glimpse some fireworks, which was what we did from the window. Somehow I like it like this - never really was one for the crazy parties - so far the past few New Years have been a toast of something alcoholic in Jessnasr's house with everyone. And so this quiet New Year was great in its own quiet way.
2010's passed in a flash, really. So many things happen that I don't remember, but I think its a year of creating and maintaining relationships for me. I think I like it that way. I don't know how many times I've thought how lucky I am just because of all these people around me, so thank
you, if you've been part of my life this past year ♥ 2011 will be life-changing, I feel, so I'm just letting things happen as they come.
We're having early nights here in Westwood, everyone's in their room and in bed by 11pm. I'm totally loving the audiobook just before I fall asleep too.
velda.
